Fri, 21 Aug 2009 21:56:09 +0000neilnevill616106@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>the 05 head tube guesset is ever so slightly different shape and the head and seat tube angles are also a teeny weeny bit different on the 06 I believe, think the swing arm got tweaked with more &#39;dent&#39;s&#39; for lateral stiffness too, no big changes though.</p>
<p>You must be tall...they are big frames and that must be 19&quot;....and your using the bottle cage <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_wink.gif" title=":wink:" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p>
<p>The frames are strong enough to take some big stuff but I did eventually manage to pop the air can on the shock....too many 8 foot drops I think. I stuck with an air shock though. TFT advise me that the older (pre RP3 etc) air cans were a teeny bit stronger.....although that&#39;s what mine was.</p>
<p>Oh BTW mangatank, I don&#39;t run the Alpine link (looks like snaps doesn&#39;t either) I reckon the extra inch on the fork has similar affects on the angles to using an alpine link, but obviously the BB is higher.

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 21:02:55 +0000mangatank616000@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Yep it&#39;s an 05, but the frame design is very similar (if not identical). I&#39;m actually really surprised at the sort of punishment that it&#39;s being asked to take. </p>
<p>How is that rear shock holding up?

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 19:17:34 +0000mangatank615814@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Wow. That&#39;s one seriously customized rig. You&#39;ve built it up as a big hitting dh beast! A very versatile frame then. I&#39;m looking for long distance all- mountain versatility. 140mm forks are so much easier to source. Love the spare tube by the way!

<p>The frame is plenty strong enough with the guessets, although if it were to crack I&#39;d strip the frame before marching in the the shop for my warranty replacement.

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:12:28 +0000b17615571@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>used an 05 rock springs with a totem without dying in the alps a couple of weeks ago. great for downhill though somewhat sluggish uphill...</p>
<p>i was also a bit worried, but the way i see is that downhill frames even not many years ago didn&#39;t have gussets or huge headtubes/welds, and people survived. I&#39;m not kyle strait so I doubt if the stress is anywhere near the (almost certainly overbuilt) spec of the frame.</p>
<p>Cynic-al also quoted something from MBA in another thread which reckoned that fork length wasn&#39;t really the issue, just whether you start hucking like crazy because of your new fork.

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:07:37 +0000mangatank615557@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>...bad combination? Do I risk destroying the ride characteristics or worse forcing a frame failure? it was designed for a 130mm Fox Talas.</p>
<p>Marin riders, Put away your sandals, comb your beards and please advise!<br />
